We three🗝
My shadow, my echo, and me.

The sea rages angry waves that crash upon broken bones
The shore is littered with cold bodies, cast down by stones
Their life blood is pulled into the sea by the waves
Swirling patterns in the water; foaming anger, it rages
Running across the sand, I come upon this place
It seems the winds can't reach me and the ocean can't give chase
Huddled in the corner, looking up into the sky
Darkness pours over the land, and I hear the whole world cry,
"What is this that cometh claiming lives along it's path?"
But before I can answer I become a victim of it's wrath
Seething flames engulf me and I burn away to ash
The waves grow bigger stronger and my remains they thrash
Scattered throughout the water I'm part of an endless course
Life and death together they stand as a powerful and deadly force.

The last ember of the fire is dying and I can't seem to embrace the darkness that is to come. I stare into the warm glow and bathe my soul in the dying heat of your passion. As it slowly turns into a cinder, I try to scoop up the ashes and remold it into the love that once was ours. But as soon as my hands touch them, they dissipate into the ground and are buried along with my hopes.

The crystal bubble surrounding me shatters and I am left vulnerable to the evil in my mind. I realize my protection is gone and visions of you swirl about my head taunting me; reminding me that the last flame of our happiness had died. I am left to sit alone in the shadows with lurking monsters of my mind invading my privacy.They chill me with their every touch, every remembrance of you.

As I'm slowly frozen from the inside-out, my stomach churns with disbelief and I want to spew forth every last memory of us so that I can die with indifference instead of pain. The dark stillness enveloping me doesn't compare with the raging blizzard numbing every last sense inside me until I am left as a lifeless ice crystal; quickly melting away and left as a pool of despair and broken fragments of memories of what once was.

Here I am
Safe in bed
Snuggled up in blankets
That cover my head
No one can reach me here
I'm beyond the reach of others
I no longer exist in this world
I've become part of another
So warm inside this sanctuary
I wish to stay forever
But the demons will be coming to find me soon
Their relentless searching spells out my impending doom.

Death hides around every corner
Silently awaiting it's victim
Thriving from dominions of darkness
For those who enjoy self-affliction
I've traveled with the blackness before
I've never seen such sadness before
It surrounds you, invades you
Persuades you, degrades you
Corrupts you, deconstructs you
Slowly breaks you, overtakes you
Down into the pit of hell.

From 1998/1999

Demons inside my soul are feeding off of hate
Thriving off of fear they wreak havoc in my mind
Strange thoughts are running through my head
Dead bodies strewn around the visions I have
My eyes go out of focus and my sight is warped
Screaming out but no one hears anything at all
My voice has disappeared with all my other senses
Numbness invades my cold and blackened heart
Clouds roll in and cover the land with darkness
Rain pours down and erodes the ground on which I walk
The volcano explodes and hot lava burns everything
Destroying all in its path, hardening the ground as it mixes with the rain
A collaboration with nature where unpredictability reigns
The icy claws enclose my throat and begin constricting
Life drains out, death pours in, and peace is finally aroused.

Does anyone else have visions of themselves
Slicing themselves across the neck
Cutting deep across the jugular and into
The carotid artery where the walls are thick
And you have to push hard and saw deep
To get through the tissue and make sure
The cut is final.
The death will be real.
It will all be over and you will not feel anything ever again.
And does it even matter
When no one counts on you for anything?
When you don't serve a purpose in this life
You contribute nothing to the world that makes a difference or seems to fill any important need
For another human or for society, for the world.
Your life is insignificant. And you are indebted
So why even bother trying to make something of yourself when you've already had everything taken away from you
If I had bullets and a gun, I would have shot myself in the head already by now
Because it would be so easy to just pull the trigger and end it all in one determined flash.
